Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Stephanie draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, which can reduce shame and open paths to change. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions with empathy and respect, giving people space to name their priorities and move at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when clients want clear strategies for managing anxiety, mood swings, or obsessive thoughts, with simple exercises to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel useful. Together they decide which combination of narrative work, empathetic listening, and skills training fits best and adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and richer nonverbal feedback, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or an ongoing way to track progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
